Following months of speculation, NBA Hall of Famer Chris Mullin has officially joined the Sacramento Kings as an adviser to the owner, the team announced Thursday.

Mullin is reunited with Kings owner and chairman Vivek Ranadive, who once held a minority stake with the Golden State Warriors.

During the ownership transition with the Kings, Mullin had been visible among the new brass. He's worn Kings gear at the team's practice facility and cheered inside the team's draft war room, but his role had not been officially announced until today.

"Chris Mullin is an incredible addition to our organization,” Ranadive said in a prepared statement.

With Mullin and the newly formed front-office staff, Ranadive said Mullin adds to the group of visionary leaders he's assembled.
